[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 992038, member: 82144"] Hello again As above: because MP is designed and optimised to be used with a remote and a large TV. It can be used on a regular desktop PC with mouse and keyboard (as I do), but this is not a primary design goal. Alt+enter toggles windowed <--> FS modes. Some skins will be more mouse friendly than others. For example, the default skins are much more mouse friendly than Titan. But ultimately if he is intent on using a mouse then maybe other software may be a better fit. MP is not to everyone's taste. Sounds like something else that is running is continually trying to steal focus from MP. Check what other applications are running, especially in the system tray. You could also try to enable the "keep MediaPortal always on top" setting in the General->Startup/Resume section of MP configuration. Note: I use XP myself and don't have any such trouble. Having said that, support is winding down so issues with XP and particular hardware/software setups can start to creep in. We don't have the resources to maintain support forever... [/QUOTE]
